Aetna has raised its earnings projections for the current year, based on strong fourth-quarter results to date, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
The Hartford, Conn.-based insurer increased its projected operating earnings to $5.15 per share for the year, up 15 cents from previous projections. Looking ahead, the insurer has suggested it could have lower earnings during 2012 due in part to an expected decline in medical membership during the first quarter.
